ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing ancillary services consistent with the invention includes placing an icon on an item, the icon corresponding to an ancillary service. Once the icon is placed on the item, the item is sent through a delivery system to a first address plant. Upon receiving an indication that the item cannot be delivered to a recipient at a first address, the ancillary service corresponding to the icon on the item is performed.
